Summary

Robert L Green Elementary is a well-regarded PK-5 school in East Lansing, MI, serving 273 students within the highly rated East Lansing School District. The school has a strong track record, earning a 4-star rating in 7 of the last 10 years and ranking in the 74th percentile statewide for the 2025-2026 school year.

Robert L Green stands out for its exceptional support of students with special needs, ranking in the 98th percentile statewide in 2022-2023. The school also excels in English Language Arts, with proficiency rates in grades 3-5 running 12-16 percentage points above state averages. This academic success is achieved efficiently, with per-student spending of $15,049—notably lower than nearby schools like Red Cedar School ($22,057) and Gier Park School ($19,792)—while outperforming them academically. The school also maintains a favorable student-teacher ratio of 13.1:1.

While the school performs well overall, there are a few areas families may want to monitor. Chronic absenteeism has been elevated, reaching 29.1% in 2024-2025, which is higher than nearby Glencairn School (19.8%) and Whitehills Elementary School (19.2%). Additionally, 5th-grade math proficiency has shown a recurring dip, falling to 40% in 2025-2026 compared to the district average of 46.8%. Social studies scores in 5th grade also lag behind district averages. On a positive note, the school demonstrates strong early elementary foundations, with 3rd-grade ELA and math proficiency rates significantly exceeding district benchmarks. For parents seeking a school with strong literacy instruction, dedicated special education support, and efficient resource use, Robert L Green is a solid choice within the East Lansing area.

The student: teacher ratio given does not reflect the actual general education class size. If your child is special ed, great school! They have lots of help for special ed students. However, the class size, with one teacher for the general ed classes, ranges more like 24:1, with the special ed students being taken out for sessions with special teachers/assistants. The general ed classes do NOT have the wonderful ratio the district would like you to think they do. Close Quote
